A binary operator function is a function named operator@ for a binary operator @ that is either a non-static member function ([class.mfct]) with one parameter or a non-member function with two parameters.

For an expression x @ y with subexpressions x and y, the operator function is selected by overload resolution ([over.match.oper]).

If a member function is selected, the expression is interpreted as Otherwise, if a non-member function is selected, the expression is interpreted as

An equality operator function is an operator function for an equality operator ([expr.eq]).

A relational operator function is an operator function for a relational operator ([expr.rel]).

A three-way comparison operator function is an operator function for the three-way comparison operator ([expr.spaceship]).
